Three Frenchmen and a Goat: The DeMoulin Bros. Story Wednesday, August 9, 2023 6:00 p.m.
In 1892, three brothers -- Ed, U.S. and Erastus DeMoulin -- founded a company in Greenville, Illinois that first made fraternal initiation oddities, then later colorful marching band uniforms. They were also the creative geniuses behind quirky devices like the Ferris Wheel Goat, Lifting & Spanking Machine, and the Trick Chair. Over 130 years later, DeMoulin Bros. & Co. is one of six remaining band uniform manufacturers in America. John Goldsmith, founder and curator of the DeMoulin Museum, will entertain you in this tribute to their invention, imagination, and industry and bring his trunk of gadgets to amuse and astound you.
